Yes, cooking is art. Not that every person who can cook is an artist but in 64 artforms that Indian culture has identified, cooking is added. We have Nala and Bheema as the best cooks ever in our mythology as well. Slowly, except for functions and marriages, events, cooking on daily basis has become an objective that women fulfill while men tend to eat and discuss the state of it.
The times are changing and we are now looking at metrosexual males, who are learning to cook and are highly interested in mastering the skill as well. Not to become master chefs but to have an additional skill at their behest. Chiranjeevi showed that he can cook and had been doing it regularly too, in a video recently. Now, Ram Charan shared a video where he is learning to make butter in the guidance of his mother and grandmother. The video is cute as it makes the larger than life star seem normal like all of us.
